| Are you ever your own boss!
I recently met with a very successful magazine publisher who
was telling me how a chain of retailers for his magazines wanted
everything their own way, even at the expense of losing revenue
for their stores and missing out on the opportunity to provide
real customer service to their customers.
He was mainly concerned that some of the members of this chain,
which, was made up of basically "mum & dad" store owners
honestly thought that as it was their business, no one else
should ask them to do anything over and above what they wanted
to do.
As we discussed this further, what upset" him was what he
believed was their mistaken belief that they did not work for a
boss and they were in fact the boss and that was it, no debate,
no argument, "we do as we please".
He explained, "we all work for a boss, be it the bank, the
shareholders, the government, our employees, customers,
suppliers, family, if fact, anyone who relies on us for support,
service or advice".
He went on to say that if we consider ourselves not answerable
to anyone else when we own a business, we are quickly headed for
doom or at least a business life of mediocrity.
So who is the boss in your business?
